You know what's good shit? When a new movie pairs a legendary actor with a more contemporary star, and they just click. Think Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Looper, or the old half of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens cast with the new one. It's a pleasure to watch an old favorite alongside a current one, and given Hollywood's current obsession with resurrecting old franchises in ways that pay direct homage to the originals, it's also something that we'll likely have plenty of opportunities for. For example, next year's Blade Runner 2049, which brings back Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard opposite Ryan Gosling, a pairing that appears together in this teaser trailer for a grand total of eight seconds, but those eight seconds are exciting.

Set thirty years after Ridley Scott's sci-fi classic, Gosling plays Officer K, a LAPD blade runner who discovers a secret that sends him on the hunt for Harrison Ford's Rick Deckard. While there's not much in the trailer, what we do see is a meticulous homage to the original's distinct and influential future-grime, overseen by the same kind of dream-team legendary/contemporary pairing behind the camera: Arrival director Denis Villeneuve and longtime Coen Brothers cinematographer Roger Deakins. (This is also a proven pairing, as Deakins and Villeneuve previously collaborated on the excellent films Prisoners and Sicario.)

It's easy to be cynical about a Blade Runner sequel, but the talent behind and in front of the camera—not just the Gosling/Ford team-up, but a number of GQ favorites like Mackenzie Davis and noted hair-haver and Gucci-wearer Jared Leto. Sure, it could still turn out awful, but at the very least allow yourself a few moments to be excited about something, before those moments are lost in time, like tears in the rain.
